This unit will introduce students to the importance of marine and freshwater environments, their biodiversity and conservation issues. Students will engage with the principles of environmental communication from the perspective of the marine and freshwater environments. In doing so, students will be equipped with the skills to undertake a broad range of environmental communication and interpretation activities with a range of audiences, communication strategies and interpretive media. This unit has no assumed knowledge of biology or environmental science, and is suitable for any student with a passion for the environment and motivation to make a difference. The skills and knowledge learn in this unit are applicable to other environments and students from non-science disciplines (eg. education).
